Sin is an incredibly powerful thing. It feels voluntary when you convince yourself you've chosen it. Even moving a degree away from the Lord, you can feel the dissonance within to rewrite your own perspective. It's human nature to justify our actions, rationalize them, or blame them on others. Freedom of any kind, whether it be full of truth or self-serving action, is ultimately about submission. Sacrifices of the soul have to be made even to remove all guard rails, and even then, we are wired to overcome, to champion, to fight for something. We wouldn't be able to recognize or wield that kind of freedom even if it came to us, because we aren't capable of controlling it.
